Customer Review Summary
Roast chicken draws repeat praise, with several reviewers also naming the Shawarma McChicken and lamb shawarma served with rice or fries as fresh and flavorful, and staff described as friendly and polite. One reviewer, however, found the shawarma mostly bread with only a few pieces of meat inside, calling the portion tiny despite decent taste.

“I have tried Original Shawarma for the first time and I was disappointed. The guys were kind but the shawarma quantity was tiny and it was mainly a sandwich of bread. They put 2 loaves of bread in the same sandwich with only a few pieces of shawarma. I was chewing bread most of the time. It was my first and probably last time. Work harder on the portions as the taste was okay.”
